There are many overlays that are designed for this effect. Call up a local concrete accessories dealer and ask about epoxies and ureathanes. They should be able to help you out. Don't use concrete paint, it will only last a few years and will create a maintenance item for you in the long run.Did anyone ever see a cement floor painted to look like ceramic tile s?
There are lots of things you can do with your cement floors, like staining them but this is pretty expensive and you need special tools to do this. Too make it look like ceramic tiles, I think your either talking about epoxies which is something very expensive and its a 2 part component where u need to really work fast. They have pot life which means when you mix your resin and cure together you only have like 3hrs to 6hrs depending on the weather , hotter it is it dries faster in the pot so you have to work really fast.
Hello.In my country New Zealand,you can hire a stencil from the paint shop.You could try asking your paint shop.It's dead easy to do.Just brush paint over the stencil,the stencil is shaped like ceramic tiles.If you use an acrylic paint you won't need an extra sealer.Failing that make a stencil out of heavy cardboard.
it is not real easy. you need stencils and expensive paint. Try Home depot but you will probably need Sherwin Williams
